i feel old for some reason. i dunno why. i mean, i am, but i don't really obsess about it. maybe its because the younger staff members at work have taken to calling me ate karen, since that is what my sister (who also works there) calls me. its weird. i don't mind, don't get me wrong. its just different. hehe.

i actually had this very vivid image the other day of me as a senior and not being able to drive. the thought that i have to rely on someone else to drive me somewhere kinda depressed me, i don't want to be a burden to anyone in that way. it made me hope that i don't ever lose my independence.
